TOP 35 ACTORS AND ACTRESSES WITH/UNDER 35: 2019

Hey guys! A reader sent me a message stating that I forgot to publish my TOP 35 ACTORS AND ACTRESSES WITH/UNDER 35 considering last year's (2019) performances and works. So, I think I owe you this post!

We're right halfway 2020, but let me present you TOP 35 ACTORS AND ACTRESSES WITH/UNDER 35. It's the farewell song for some of the most talented young actors and actresses of the last couple of years, which are those born in 1984: Scarlett Johansson (who departs in great fashion at #1 spot), Paul Dano (not bad at #26, but mostly because of the lack of acting projects in the last couple of years) and Gaspard Ulliel (who didn't made the TOP 35 because of the lack of remarkable works since 2016 and ferocious fresh competition, but he got an honorable mention). They "reached" 35 years old in 2019, so... they are ineligible for this year's works for the 2020 edition next year. But there are a lot of fresh faces with a lot of potential in this edition: George MacKay, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Taron Egerton, Daniel Kaluuya, Dev Patel (re-entering the TOP 35), Jessie Buckley and Lily-Rose Depp. What a nice bunch of new additions!

So, here's the TOP 35:

MALE HONORABLE MENTIONS:

Alden Ehrenreich for Hail, Caesar! (2016)
Josh O'Connor for God's Own Country (2017)
Ezra Miller for The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012)
Jack O'Connell for Starred Up (2013)
Lakeith Stanfield for Sorry to Bother You (2018)
Aaron Taylor-Johnson for Nocturnal Animals (2016)
Gaspard Ulliel for It's Only the End of the World / Juste la fin du monde (2016)

FEMALE HONORABLE MENTIONS:

Awkwafina for The Farewell (2019)
Elizabeth Debicki for The Great Gatsby (2013)
Adèle Exarchopoulos for Blue Is the Warmest Color / La vie d'Adèle (2013)
Thomasin McKenzie for Leave No Trace (2018)
Amandla Stenberg for The Hate U Give (2018)
Anya Taylor-Joy for The VVitch: A New-England Folktale (2015)
Alicia Vikander for The Danish Girl (2015)

TOP 35 Actors and Actresses Under 35 Working Today - 2017

The almost annual TOP 35 Actors and Actresses Under 35 Working Today is out, with me considering the performers' performances of 2016 also. We have a few changes since last year's list, with Greta Gerwig toping the list thanks to her last 3 great performances in Mistress America , Maggie's Plan and the Oscar buzzy acting turn in 20th Century Women . Scarlett Johansson comes second with her latest distinguished performance being in 2014 ( Under the Skin ), but she managed to be at the spotligh this year thanks to her fine turns in critically acclaimed movies: Hail, Caesar! , Captain America: Civil War , The Jungle Book (voice) and Sing (voice). Emily Blunt adds another great performance to her resume in The Girl on the Train and she comes third, while Elle Fanning 's turning into one of the finest actresses and she's getting to play more adult and complex parts like The Neon Demon and 20th Century Women 's (her two best performances since Super 8 ). Finall...

TOP 10 Most Promising Movie Actors (under 30)

Today I discussed about how awful some "teen icons" are and then we talked about some exceptions. So, I decided to make a little list, a TOP 10, with the male actors that I think that will become music in an ocean of noise somewhere in the future (I did one list before, but it was a little bit pathetic and I didn't justify my choices). Let's start... 1 - Ryan Gosling He may not have a huge list of movies in his body of work, but the few times he makes something, all the time he almost carries the movie. In fact, Gosling is a proof that talent does exist and that you don't need excentrical characters to receive raves. He rose to fame after the big screen adaptation of The Notebook (2004) and then received lots of critical praise for his performances in movies like Half Nelson (that gave him an Oscar, a SAG Award and other major awards nominations), Lars and the Real Girl (that gave him a Golden Globe, a SAG Award and other major awards nominations) and Fractur...

TOP 35 Actors and Actresses with or under 35 years old: 2018

I think it was my TOP 35 under 35 list I've ever done since I remember: so many great performers emerged last year with distinguished performances that elevated their previous works (I'm talking about Elizabeth Olsen , Lucas Hedges , Robert Pattinson , Gaspard Ulliel , Tessa Thompson or Jamie Bell , for example). I'm kinda sad I felt "forced" at letting Jonah Hill ( Moneyball and The Wolf of Wall Street ) and Emma Watson ( The Perks of Being a Wallflower , The Bling Ring and 2017's Beauty and the Beast ) out of the list. Congratulations to Kirsten Dunst , who turned 35 last year so she can not be included in this year's list - such an amazing child actress turned movie star, who delivered memorable performances in Interview with the Vampire (1994), The Virgin Suicides (1999), The Cat's Meow (2002) or Melancholia (2011). This year, Saoirse Ronan tops the list thanks to two great performances: On Chesil Beach and an iconic acting turn in Lad...
